It was cool in the fifties scattin' toJazz and be-bopIt was the sound they were throwin' downFrom la to new york andIn every town

And with the rhythm in your soulsAdd a hip-hop and bop n'Just so ya knowThis thing it's back swing is king,Call it new jack

[Chorus:]What goes around, comes around(and that's the way it goes)What goes around comes around andComes aroundLike that, a riff and a rhythmWhat goes around, comes around(and that's the way it goes)What goes around, comes aroundLike that, like that

Round, round and roundRound we goRound, round and roundRound we go

People stomped in the citiesJumpin' to the groove of the musicThey rocked and jammedWith the hipster clanIn the clubs, in the streetsAnd on every beatAnd with the be-bop in their soulsThey took the swing thing andStarted to rollAnd now it's a fact a little hip-hopAnd bop has found a way back

(rap)Bix he had a bag of tricksParker came along exactly whenHe changed the mixSax made a bang,Monk made a changeAnd be-bop laid the tracksFor the ColtraneThey were getting busyA trumpet pumpedYour head got dizzy andYou started to bumpThey had a styleBeat was the backboneYou could see for milesMr. Philly Joe Jones

You may not realize swingWas here beforeBecause it's disguised and we'veAdded so much moreThe time is now to show you howTo get the groove into your shoes

[Chorus:]

Round, round and roundRound we goRound, round and roundRound we go(repeat)What goes around and roundMust come around and around(repeat)
